Mine too. I name the /home partition differently on all my boxes too,
since it is hard to mount foo:/home and bar:/home on the box baz and
have things in those trees that have absolute path names not fight each
other. better to mount /foo and /bar on baz (and foo and/or bar). But
maybe I'm just weird that way.
